Apple May Soon Launch Colorful New AirPods Models
For nearly a decade, Apple’s AirPods have been an icon of minimalist, white design. That monochromatic reign may be coming to an end, as recent leaks suggest a colorful future could be on the horizon. A potential shift to a multi-color lineup would transform the popular earbuds from a uniform accessory into a personalized style statement, echoing Apple’s successful color introductions across its iMac and iPad lines.

  • ✓ Apple has historically kept its mainline AirPods and AirPods Pro models exclusively in white since their 2016 debut.
  • ✓ The company has a track record of expanding color palettes for popular products, as seen with the iPhone, iMac, and iPad Air.
  • ✓ The only exception in the audio lineup has been the over-ear AirPods Max, which are available in five different colors.
  • ? Leaked images from leaker Kosutami reportedly show early first-generation AirPods prototypes in vibrant pink and yellow, reminiscent of the iPhone 5c aesthetic.
  • ? According to a report from 9to5Mac, the leaker also claims Apple previously tested other colors, including Product Red, Purple, and Black, to match the iPhone 7 lineup.

Expected: Unknown. No official announcement or release window has been provided by Apple. Any color additions would likely coincide with a future hardware refresh.
